#HappyRadioDay to all celebrants! Too many pics to choose, so here's a random one from @wfmu.bsky.social 2013 Marathon. Radio is strong in me-- joined my HS radio station @WJSV in 1972, WFMU in 1986 (still hosting), @wnyc.org in 1994 (still there too). What a great way to live out my life's calling!
